j Chairman Jackson's Comments on SECY 98-263 From c policy perspective, I have no objection to the extension of the comment period since this l schedule was developed by the staff to meet the overall Commission directed completion date of the rule. However, the staff has indicated that a 30 day extension would negatively impact its
- scheduled meetings with the full ACMUI and the appropriate subcommittees; therefore, to the extent that it would be necessary to eliminate these meetings to allow an additional 30 day comment period, I disapprove the request to extend the 30 day comment period. Given the enhanced participatory method under which this proposed rule has been developed and the period of time previously available to comment on this rulemaking, I believe that ample time and l
opportunity have already been provided to those who wished to comment. Therefore, I disapprove the staff recommendation to extend the completion date for the final rule.
I approve the request for a " point of contact" in each Commission Office to assist the staff in resolving issues as it continues to develop the final rule; however, the staff should be aware that
! these individuals will still need to consult with each of the respective Commissioners prior to providing " Commission direction" on any issue. As such, this informal process should not be used by the staff as a means of receiving instantaneous feed back from the Commission, nor should it be used to circumvent the established Commission procedures for developing and promulgating policy.
